I think we should agree to disagree at this point, time to get the BBQ fired up (Chicken) Enjoyed the conversation though, take care FRiend, hope to converse again!
Yeah, they first tell us how we are unimportant, or even irrelevant. Now we are expected to hold our noses and vote for the RINO. And if he gets clobbered, it will be our fault even though we were supposed to be unimportant or irrelevant.
Same reasoning as the Rudy Giuliani robots.
Yes. Round up the illegals and take them home crammed in the backs of small trucks, just like they came in with.
I got news for Chambliss. He will lose. His participation in crafting the Amesty bill will cause conservatives in Georgia to sit it out.
The liberal and moderate republicans have the primary's so rigged that the conservative is shafted long before it gets to the south. There should be no Iowa and new Hampshire first for the next one hundred years.
uh, no.
is huckabee still in the race?
maybe he’s got a better plan
Not my problem,
Your ideal is no different than saying if your just let the bank robber keep the stolen money, their life would be much better. Come to think of it are you that slum landlord that was posting here a while back.
Mercy...you support an underclass of citizenry, slave labor. Are you saying that the ""immigrants" are lesser human beings? Americans are superior so we need less thans to clean our toilets. You should really re-think your statement...and no, I never said round them up but I did suggest a way for them to self deport....back to th chicken, Nite!

There are those who believe their lot in life is dictated by others (or the ‘system’). They tend to complain a lot. This is a common attitude among the poor, those on drugs, and those in jail. They also tend to vote democratic.
Then their are others who believe, as I do, that their lot in life is determined by their actions.
Since your post was in response to my comment that many of those who are complaining about John McCain’s lead in the primaries “never did anything to help the candidate they preferred except post their opinions on FR” I can only assume that you are one of those I was referring to.
He is the best the GOP has to offer as a candidate for President. That is a sad commentary on the GOP.
I know where you’re going, but if push comes to shove I’d rather deal with them than another 9-11 or worse-—and they’ve sworn next time will be worse. Then again, I’m sure with all their experience, Hill or Obama will keep us safe. No thanks, I’ll take my chances with John over the other two.
I've called him a RINO and occasionally a poser.
I've even speculated that he'll play the spoiler if he doesn't get the nomination.
I voted for Mitt in the CA primary.
Now, I will vote for McCain this November.
But, I want some things first.
The GOP needs to adopt 100% Conservative planks in convention.
I mean Border Fence (physical) ASAP, illegal aliens sent back, no more anchor babies, (if illegal aliens vote, they go to JAIL), unapologetic support for the troops and troop surge, I could go on.
And, if McCain either agrees to aggressive and unwaivering support and pursuit of the conservative planks or true conservatives will see to it that he looses all 50 states.
Also, we want a vigorous, well-spoken, CONSERVATIVE VEEP. (Michael Steele comes to mind.)
Anything less, and (in appropriate Spanish) is ADIOS to the GOP.
Answere the question though...would you ‘round them up?’. And if so, how?
____________________________________________________
You don’t have to round them up, they just show up at schools, hospitals, work sites ect. Punish the company that hires them and they migrate. I mean it might mess up your dinner plans, and what have you but so what??? This is a Country, not a mall, legal immigration will get your dinner fixed and hotel room cleaned. Heres a simple question back at you...what do you do with the next 20 million folks who wander in???
The rest of the country has seen the damage a progressive republican can do watching Schwartzenkerry run California to the poor house, and McCain and Huck are gonna run the table????? Geez?????
I live in California too. I know that California spends in excess of $10 billion per year in benefits for illegal aliens. And the numbers are growing. It is not unrealistic to enforce the law. Deport those who are arrested for minor crimes instead of jailing them and releasing them on the street. Workplace enforcement is a must. If the jobs aren't there, deportation or the hyperbolic "round-the-all-up" would not be required.
You would be talking about billions of $$$ plus separating families (most illegals have had children here which make them legal), crippling businesses, and tanking the economy of the entire west coast.
Yeah? And it costs billions more if they stay. Frankly, I don't care if families are separated--that is the result of a decision the illegal immigrant made, not U.S. citizens. As to crippling businesses, you mean they won't have slave labor anymore? Good! Long term, that does nothing for the economy, it just builds a house of cards. If labor is needed, lobby for increases in legal immigration. Lobby for a decrease to the minimum wage. Bypassing the law is not the answer.
BUMPED for The Truth!!!
That said, I've decided to look at this upcoming election as one where there will be two Democrats running, RINO McCain for the GOP, versus one of two extreme left wingnuts, Hussein or Hillary. To me, the single biggest issue we are facing now is the war on terror, and there is no comparison there between McCain and those other two buffoons. The choice for me is clear - hold my nose, vote for McCain, and hope that the GOP has some up and coming conservatives in the farm leagues (Bobby Jindal, anyone?).
I think it will be a blowout.
Either McCain wins big or Obama does.
But whoever it is, it won’t be close.
The Bushbots and RINOs will..
Do you really believe that Obama is going to nominate someone more like John Roberts instead of like Ginsberg? With McCain you would.
Is changing the subject all that you got?
Because we are talking about McCain, not Obama, and if you are trying to tell me that McCain is going to put forth better judges than Ginsburg, I am going to look at his record of nominating ... judges.
don’t like that?
Not what I read.
>McCain is bad enough without having to lie about him.
got that right.
